Modern/Avant New Releases: A running thread

[Alexander Hawkins]

Really kind - thank you!

[peterintoronto]

I really like purchasing my CDs via Bandcamp. It supports the artists directly, and there's tons of soundclips. Here's a list of interesting labels who do business via this platform. Please add on!

I buy Aerophonic CDs directly from Dave Rempis website.

some of us have no option but to pay in £. Although before USPS price hikes it used to be cheaper to re-import some items which was some kind of madness

 

Just spotted this in the text about Threadgill's new album on the Pi Recordings site

 

"Liberty Ellman, who will release Radiance, his first new album as a leader since 2006s Ophiuchus Butterfly later this year"

 

now that I am excited about.....as I am about the new Zooid

 

Great to hear about the new Liberty Ellman album. A lot has happened since Ophiuchus Butterfly, can't wait to hear what he comes out with.

 

And yeah the new Zooid... fast approaching, can't wait.

New Liberty Ellman is out August 21st:

http://www.amazon.com/Radiate-Liberty-Ellman/dp/B011J05RE8

Relatively short running time on the Ellman but great looking band.

[mjazzg]

I'll take quality over quantity any day

[xybert]

I don't have them in front of me so i could be wrong, but apart from the recent double disc the previous three Zooid albums were all around 40 minutes. It was particularly noticeable to me for some reason, like it was an aesthetic choice/conscious decision. Also from memory (i really should wait until i get home and can double check) Ellman mixed and produced those albums. 

It's worth it for any fan of Threadgill's recent work to at least check out Ophiuchus Butterfly (and i assume that the new one will be well worth checking out too) in the same way that you'd check out Shorter/Hancock/Williams/Carter leader dates if you're a fan of the Second Great Quintet. Ellman is crucial to the sound of those Zooid albums. 

[Chuck Nessa]

Ellman learned this from Henry.

I think a solo disc could work nicely. She's covered most other ensemble sizes from duet to Septet.

Anything with 'Blood', 'Ida Lupino' and 'Sadness' should sound good. Interesting to see Akchote on the list

I think that it has the potential to be amazing, but time will tell. For me there might be some initial conflict between what i want it to be and what it actual is on first listens. I'd love to hear a preview track. I'm pretty excited for this one. One concern is the risk of self parody, particularly with it being cover tunes. I can hear a bad version of 'lol Mary Halvorson doing Ida Lupino lol lol' in my head.

I saw her perform the album live in concert in D.C. a few months ago and it was great (I posted on it in the Live thread). Some very cool interpretations. Looking forward to picking it up. 

[Jason Bivins]

The Halvorson tracks I've heard so far confirm Leeway's opinion, for sure. 

[AllenLowe]

well, it's still a few months until this stuff comes out, but here's the releases of my own stuff on my own label (Constant Sorrow), all to be out by end of year and next spring; I am on alto/tenor/C melody, and all compositions are mine; the overall series is called In the Diaspora of the Diaspora:

We Will Gather When We Gather (with Hamiet Bluiett)

Ballad For Albert (with Matt Shipp)

also: The Five Stages of Grief (with Bobby Zankel, Randy Sandke, Lewis Porter, et al)

         The Mary Lou Williams Story (with Shipp/Bluiett/Kirk Knuffke/Ava Mendoza/Loren Schoenbert/Kelly Green/Ursula Oppens)

          Odds and Ends for $10 (with Ken Peplowski/Ursula Oppens/Ava Mendoza/Shayna Dulberger/Miki Matsuki)

Amazing output. Time to sit back and have a toke.

[AllenLowe]

yeah, kinda based on a promise to my wife to get everything done and then get ready to move and take it somewhat lighter. But everybody's in the right place at the right time.

Noticed that Josh Berman has a new trio album on Delmark listed on Amazon for release in September. Would quite like to hear something from it, googling around i haven't been able to find anything. One to watch out for though.

[David Ayers]

Tom Rainey trio with Halvorson and Laubrock, Hotel Grief, due soon on Intakt.

I'll get that.

Also went ahead and pre-ordered the Halvorson solo CD.

That's good news. I've enjoyed his two previous (very different)  Delmarks a lot

Has anyone actually received "Pomegranate" by Stephen Haynes by now?
